Candidate profile

*******************

Candidates should have a solid knowledge of one or more topics among:

   -

   EEG signal analysis
   -

   Application of non-linear metrics to EEG data
   -

   EEG source localization for clinical applications
   -

   Quantification of high-density EEG time-varying connectivity in the
   source space (i.e., estimation of EEG source dipole orientation for
   connectivity analysis; graph methods for the analysis of
   functional/effective connectivity matrices).
   -

   Clinical biomechanics, including wearable sensors analysis and EMG data
   analysis

Candidates should have obtained a Ph.D. in one of the above research fields.

Candidates should be able to solve practical and theoretical problems posed

original methods. Strong team working skills, capacity to respect deadlines
and interdisciplinary scientific curiosity are preferential selection
criteria.

The ideal candidate will also have very good programming skills in MatLab
and/ or Python. Lastly, the candidate should have adequate scientific
English writing skills to be able to publish papers in top journals. A good
propensity for teaching and co-tutoring students is appreciated.

Requirements

************

 - Ph.D. degree related to signal analysis (EEG/EMG) or integration of
neurophysiology and clinical biomechanics or neurorobotics

 - Very good programming skills in MatLab, Python, and possibly C++

 - A good publication record for academic age

 - Good written and spoken English, communication, and presentation skills

Salary

******

The gross basic salary is according to the UNIPD postdoctoral student
salary agreement and may range between 1450 € to 1850 € / month on a 12

About the Lab

*************

ReNeT Lab (Rehabilitation, Neuroscience & Technology Laboratory) is part of
the Neuroscience Department of the University of Padova and the Padova
Neuroscience Center. It has a strong collaboration, through the
Neurorobotics Joint Lab, with the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Lab of the
University of Padova.

ReNeT Lab is a multidisciplinary lab focused on restoring motor functions
after lesions of the Central Nervous System by envisioning a paradigm
change of rehabilitation.

Our mission is to develop innovative rehabilitation treatments based on
individual neurobiological & neurophysiological fingerprints of recovery
(i.e. neurorobotics, neurostimulation).

Skills available at ReNeT Lab include neurophysiology, neurorehabilitation,
robotic rehabilitation, advanced EEG and EMG signal analysis, and clinical
motion analysis with wearable sensors.

The ReNeT Lab team is composed of 1 professor, 1 post-doc, 3 PhD students,
1 physiotherapist, plus neurology/neurophysiology residents and master
students.

The equipment available at the ReNeT-Lab includes several lower limb
robots, a High Density EEG (128 channels), a wireless 64 channels EEG
system, a full body IMUs suit including inertial gloves for motor tracking
and motion analysis, a transcranial magnetic Stimulation system (TMS), and
a wireless EMG system. The Neurology Clinic of the University Hospital of
Padova provides incomparable access to diverse neurological patient
populations.

About Padua: the University and the City

*****************************************

The University of Padua is one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious
seats of learning. Founded in 1222, Padua’s Studium Patavinum was a place
of study that readily welcomed Italian students and scholars, as well as
those from various European countries searching for cultural freedom and
expression. The University of Padua holds over 65,000 students and 2,000
educators within its 32 departments, accrediting more than 13,000 graduates
each year.

The University of Padua has a high-ranking position in both Italian and
international ranking agencies for its quality of teaching, research
activities and student services. Confirming results include the number of
works held in its scientific research archive, a cutting-edge sector that
added 13,000 publications and hundreds of active projects during the
2022/2023 academic year alone.

The city of Padua is situated in the Veneto Region, in the heart of
north-eastern Italy, and less than 40 km from Venice, Padua is one of the
most beautiful cities in Italy, with over 3,000 years of history. Padua
appears twice in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
